The coach

Hello and welcome to Distance Runners Unlimited (DRU), the home of passionate running enthusiasts! 

I'm Daniel Farrugia, the founder and head coach. Allow me to share with you my qualifications, experience, coaching philosophy, and the services I offer.

QUALIFICATIONS:

At DRU, I bring a wealth of expertise as an accredited Level 2 Intermediate Club Coach through Athletics Australia, with over a decade of teaching experience. My diverse skill set and the recent completion of a Strength and Conditioning Course through ASCA make me fully qualified to deliver top-notch coaching, enhancing my athletes' running performance.

Experience:

With 27 years of competitive running, I've completed countless races, ranging from 5km fun runs to gruelling 100km trail ultras. Running is not just a hobby for me; it's a way of life. I firmly believe in the remarkable physical, emotional, and psychological benefits that running can offer when approached correctly. The elation of crossing the finish line after months of dedicated training is an incomparable feeling of fulfilment.

Philosophy:

Running is my catalyst for personal growth, both physically and mentally. It grants me the opportunity to relish the outdoors, achieve peak fitness, and find harmony within myself. The driving force behind establishing this coaching business is to share my profound passion for running and empower individuals like you to unlock your full potential. Together, we will embark on an extraordinary journey, starting with that crucial first step in the right direction.

Services:

As your dedicated coach, I'm committed to guiding you toward your running goals by employing cutting-edge training and coaching principles. Your success and overall well-being are my top priorities as I strive to provide the support you need for long-term progress.
